The unrestrained development processes of recent decades have brought our planet to an environmentally critical point. Large urban areas play a fundamental role in this respect, as they constitute large-scale systems that devour resources and produce waste and pollution.
To mitigate these effects, urban green spaces need to add a strong environmental component to their aesthetic and recreational functions. These new urban ecosystems should integrate the planning and structuring of the city, incorporating existing cycles in nature, which requires effective collaboration between urban planners and landscape architects.
